Kindred Hearts of Cottage Grove Memory Care is dedicated solely to Memory Care, accepting residents with mild cognitive impairment through advanced dementia. The team is prepared to manage conditions that often accompany memory loss, including wandering behaviors during both daytime and nighttime, exit-seeking, behavioral challenges, sleep reversal, oxygen use, specialized diets, and diabetes controlled with oral medication. The community is also open to adults under age 60 who need memory support, making it a fit for a broader age range than many settings.
Round-the-clock clinical oversight is anchored by a nurse on call 24 hours a day, supported by staff who remain awake throughout the night. Background-checked personnel monitor alarmed doors and respond to in-room pull-cord alerts. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and partial help with eating. Mobility support spans standby supervision, walker and wheelchair assistance, one-person transfers, and two-person transfers for those who need it.
Private suites are available, some with their own bathrooms, and select rooms come furnished and outfitted with cable service. Regular housekeeping is included, but prospective residents should confirm which specific features are present in the apartment they are considering, as not every unit has every option.
Meals follow a set menu designed to accommodate physician-ordered special diets. Portions, textures, and recipes can be adjusted to meet individual nutritional needs, ensuring consistency for residents with diabetes, swallowing issues, or other dietary requirements.
Residents can spend time in the communal gardens, an outdoor space intended for supervised fresh-air visits, light activity, and seasonal programming.
